In post-Calhoun era, which national champion coach will retire next?

[InstiGATOR1]

If you ask me the concept of a "post-Calhoun era" is a bit much. Here is the UF part and Norlander has Donovan retiring relatively soon:

Best guess at retirement: 2024

Billy Donovan, 47 (Seasons: 18; Florida, 2006, 2007)

Donovan has two titles at Florida, but he's still hungry. I can see Donovan retiring early, however. I can't picture him coaching at 60 the way I can the second-youngest coach on this list, Kansas' Bill Self.

Here is a link to the whole article:

If Billy retires at 60 he will have been at UF for 31 years.

The guy was born to do what he is doing. He's not leaving anytime soon - not that 2024 is soon.

Isn't the answer pretty easily Coach K? He's already up there in age, 65, has 4 titles and won't be catching Wooden, would catch Pat Summit for most wins in 6-7 years (~160 behind) and now 2 Olympic golds.

Maybe they are expecting him to keel over berating a ref. Or, maybe they are expecting major NCAA sanctions. Making K stand for "Kicked to the curb."

They probably just removed the obvious choice so they could have a discussion.
